"This deeply moving collection of stories, faces, and objects from the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit." "The 36 stories told here - and the photographs and objects that accompany them - were presented to the Museum for exhibition by Holocaust survivors and their families. A child's Torah scroll, a dress sewn upon liberation from Dachau, a desperate telegram, a false passport, a blue-and-beige-striped cap specially insulated by a camp inmate - they are all emblems of the remarkable stories of perseverance and hope that are vividly recounted in this extraordinary book."--BOOK JACKET
